Voter-like Dynamics with Conflicting Preferences on Modular Networks

Entropy, 2023
Two of the main factors shaping an individual’s opinion are social coordination and personal preferences, or personal biases. To understand the role of those and that of the topology of the network of interactions, we study an extension of the voter ...

Reshuffling spins with short range interactions: When sociophysics produces physical results

, 2005
Galam reshuffling introduced in opinion dynamics models is investigated under the nearest neighbor Ising model on a square lattice using Monte Carlo simulations.

Agent Mental Models and Bayesian Rules as a Tool to Create Opinion Dynamics Models

Physics
Traditional models of opinion dynamics provide a simplified approach to understanding human behavior in basic social scenarios. However, when it comes to issues such as polarization and extremism, a more nuanced understanding of human biases and ...

A model of ideological struggle

, 2009
A general model for opinion formation and competition, like in ideological struggles is formulated. The underlying set is a closed one, like a country but in which the population size is variable in time.

A Theory of Best Choice Selection through Objective Arguments Grounded in Linear Response Theory Concepts

Physics
In this study, we propose how to use objective arguments grounded in statistical mechanics concepts in order to obtain a single number, obtained after aggregation, which would allow for the ranking of “agents”, “opinions”, etc., all defined in a very ...

Are Socio-Econo-Physical Models Better to Explain Biases in Societies? [PDF]

Reports in Advances of Physical Sciences, 2018
In this work, we review various dynamical models in socio-econo-physics, and discuss their roles in understanding socio-economic biases. We deal with fairness in nations, wealth distributions in nations, elections’ dynamics and tax evasion models.

The formation of share market prices under heterogeneous beliefs and common knowledge

, 2011
Financial economic models often assume that investors know (or agree on) the fundamental value of the shares of the firm, easing the passage from the individual to the collective dimension of the financial system generated by the Share Exchange over time.

Modeling of the parties' vote share distributions

, 2018
Competition between varying ideas, people and institutions fuels the dynamics of socio-economic systems. Numerous analyses of the empirical data extracted from different financial markets have established a consistent set of stylized facts describing ...
